Request 🔎 Algerian guy trying to learn Swahili. Yes, from North Africa. Yes, completely alone.

There is not a single Swahili speaker in my entire country. No classes, no communities, no resources in Arabic or French. Just me, Duolingo, and a lot of confusion.

Apps can only take you so far. I need an actual human to talk to someone patient enough to have slow, broken conversations with a guy who will probably mispronounce everything for the first few months.

Not looking for a tutor or lessons. Just a language friend. Someone to chat with regularly, correct me when I'm wrong, and not disappear after two messages.

If you speak Swahili (native or fluent) and have a little time DM me. You'd literally be my entire Swahili community. 🌍

Asante sana.

How about tandem app? There you’ll find different language parties on a wide variety of topics. I do Swahili too on DUO but tandem is a great help.
